Chapter 81
In the hall, several guests stood in a row.
Wu Qianying raised her hand and pointed at the two extra people in the hall.
"Oh my god, the police are here to arrest people. No one should turn in for me, right? I'm a good person. Woohoo! I don't want to be arrested."
For the first time, NPCs other than guests appeared in the hall.
Two constables in official robes stood there, one holding a chain and the other holding a shackle.
The meaning is self-evident. As soon as the voting results come out, they will rush forward to bring the murderer to justice.
Approaching the two detectives, Qin Dongxiao rubbed his hands and said rudely, "Officers, what will happen if I'm arrested?"
The officer glanced at Qin Dongxiao and agreed, "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Killing someone means paying with one's life. The criminal should be beheaded on the guillotine as a warning to others."
"What if we catch the wrong person?"
The constable glanced at the few people.
Just sneered.
Qin Dongxiao felt a chill down his spine from the two detectives' cold sneers and decisively distanced himself from them.
Returning to the guest seat, Qin Dongxiao lowered his voice and asked, "No one should choose me, right?"
Lin Yi raised his hand and said confidently and decisively, "Of course I have to choose you as the murderer."
"What? I'm the murderer, and you chose me?"
Lin Yi: “Yeah.”
Donald Qin laughed: "What are you talking about? Wait a minute."
Qin Dongxiao's eyes widened as he looked at the others in disbelief: "You guys didn't all choose me, did you?"
A few people smiled but said nothing.
Qin Dongxiao's heart skipped a beat. He slapped his thigh and said anxiously, "No way! I've made it clear enough. I'm innocent. If you all choose me, I'm doomed."
It was only then that Wu Qianying spoke up: "Don't worry, Lao Qin, I didn't choose you."
"Who did you choose?"
"Hehe." Wu Qianying looked at Lin Yi beside her, the meaning was self-evident.
This time it was Lin Yi's turn to be surprised.
"Ah, you chose me?"
Wu Qianying nodded.
Lin Yi:!!!
Lin Yi's face was full of disbelief, and his expression seemed to be asking: WTF, why did you choose me?
"What about Director Huan? Who did Director Huan choose?"
Chu Fan floated to Huan Xu's side and asked silently.
Huan Xu smiled, then glanced at Bai Yi, who remained silent, and said softly, "The results will be announced soon."
Amid the anxious waiting and anticipation of the guests and audience, the results were finally announced by variety show director Chen.
There were two people who received zero votes, namely Chu Shusheng and Wu Wunu.
Director Chen paused, and then his gloating voice was broadcast again.
"And one person only received votes from one player"
"Let us congratulate Qin Wulai."
Qin Dongxiao let out a long breath and bowed to everyone like a gentleman.
Taking a step back, only Lin Yi and Bai Yi were left in front.
Lin Yi really wanted to cry but had no tears at this moment.
"Why did you choose me? Is it because I don't look righteous enough?"
【Hahaha, my brother's transformation was very successful.】
[When people see you now, they no longer see you as a youthful spirit in bright clothes and on a horse, but rather as a sinister villain.]
"So who is the murderer chosen by the guests? Lin Yi——"
As Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, Old Chen added the rest of the words while panting heavily, "It's still Bai Yi.
Lao Chen's voice sounded again in an unkind tone, with ups and downs, sounding very emotional, but it made the audience and guests wait impatiently and hate him to the core.
When everyone wanted to pull out Lao Chen who was hiding behind the camera and beat him up, he finally announced the result.
"Congratulations to the two guests who received the same number of votes, three votes each."
The scene flashed by, and Chu Fan finally voted for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi squatted down holding his head: "Wow, I was really scared just now."
"I'm really not the murderer."
Wu Qianying looked at Bai Yi, who also received three votes, in confusion. Then she realized belatedly and said, "How come Brother Bai also has three votes? Who voted for Brother Bai?"
Only Qin Dongxiao raised his claws.
The others turned their heads.
All eyes turned to Huan Xu. It seemed that the two extra votes were Huan Xu's detective votes.
Wu Qianying was still a little confused: "How could Brother Bai be the murderer? Wasn't he framed?"
As mentioned in the previous rules, when there is a tie, the final choice is made by the detective.
The prompt voice asks at the appropriate time: "Detective, do you insist on your original choice? Nod yes, shake your head no. Your choice will determine who the murderer is in this episode, and the murderer will be taken away by the police."
Lin Yi looked at Huan Xu pitifully and said, "I swear to God, Constable Huan, please believe me. I didn't kill anyone."
Huan Xu looked at Bai Yi and asked, "Does Bai Lu Ren have anything to say?"
Bai Yi put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid."
【Brother Bai is very confident.】
[Is it a human or a ghost? I really can't tell.]
[What will Director Huan choose? ]
Huan Xu looked at the camera and said, "I stick to my original choice."
Lin Yi slumped to the ground in a somewhat exaggerated manner, stroking his pounding heart and saying, "I was scared to death."
Qin Dongxiao gave Huan Xu a thumbs up from a distance.
As Huan Xu made his decision, two constables stepped forward and put shackles on Bai Yi.
"So, did the detective agency successfully catch the real culprit this round of deductions? The answer will be revealed in the next issue... No, it will be revealed in this issue."
"Let us congratulate the detective agency for successfully capturing the real murderer."
"When will the cycle of revenge end?" Director Chen finally let out a long sigh.
[The real murderer is actually Brother Bai!? ]
As several people put on the medals, Qin Dongxiao gave a big wink to the camera.
He didn't forget to turn around and show off to Wu Qianying, saying complacently: "This is what it means to be in tune with each other."
That’s right, I’m talking about him and Director Huan.
Wu Qianying puffed out her cheeks and had to admit that she had indeed lost this round.
The other side of the camera is given to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi nodded slightly towards the camera and said seriously, "Director Chen is right. When will the cycle of revenge end? Everyone, don't follow my example."
【Hahaha, Brother Bai is still so serious at this time.】
[I still remember Bai Ge saying he couldn't play games. Damn, I almost got tricked by Bai Ge. Isn't this a good game? I almost won.]
[Almost missing a Director Huan.]
[Honestly, if it weren't for Director Huan leading the charge in this round, Brother Bai's performance would have been a real show-off.]
The variety show ends with a scene restoration segment, which restores the cause, process and outcome of the story to everyone.
It was a dark and windy night.
He cut his enemy to pieces with one knife after another, relieving the hatred in his heart and avenging himself, his son, and the families that had been separated from him for many years.
[The first episode of "Famous Detectives" came to a successful conclusion at the Red Dust Inn.]
Although the premiere of this episode of the variety show has ended, the online discussion about "The Detectives" and "Red Dust Inn" has just begun.
"So this is what script killing is."
"I felt like I missed a lot of details the first time I watched it. No, I have to watch it again and review it."
"It looks really fun. I saw it posted on the Xinghuo official website. Although script-killing games weren't invented by Director Huan, they were once a popular game on the home planet."
"Ahhh, why didn't I know this before? Our ancestors were having so much fun playing it. I want to play it too, but I don't know where I can play it."
"In just a short while, the popularity of the variety show Detective Stars has already climbed to the front page. I feel like the offline script-killing show will start soon, and we can join in."
Although many viewers' minds are wandering when watching variety shows, they can't help but love to play and want to play.
It was at this time that someone called out to everyone: "Everyone, hurry up and apply. The Xinghuo official website has released a new announcement."
There are three new messages from Xinghuo.
One of them was something that the audience had been discussing heatedly before - whether they could play a script-killing game themselves.
Spark: [The variety show "Celebrity Detectives" will be aired bi-monthly, edited and broadcasted, and filmed entirely offline on Weiyang Street @ Qinqiang Real Estate.]
[In addition to the filming time, the Weiyang Street Script Killing Real Scene Store has opened a pre-registration trial event. Players are welcome to come and challenge. At that time, the same medals will be awarded based on the number of victories.]
Spark Announcement No. 2: [The permanent guests of the Mingtan Star Gathering are Spark Entertainment actors@……]
In addition to our regular guest stars, we'll also feature special guests in each episode. Join the Truth Society as they delve into cases beyond time and space, exploring the hidden truth.
[In addition to actors, directors, and other professionals in related industries, players who have accumulated a certain number of consecutive wins and medals at the Weiyang Street Script Killing Store will have the opportunity to be invited to participate in the filming of the Detective Star Gathering.]
Before the audience could come to their senses, their eyes had already unconsciously turned to the third announcement of Xinghuo.
The third announcement is not as relevant to the general audience as the first two, but it has attracted the attention of another group of people.
Before the release of "Detective Stars", no one could have imagined that this variety show would receive such a huge response after just one episode.
Looking back, in addition to Xinghuo Entertainment's director Huan Xu Chen and the actors who became famous again and dominated the hot search headlines, a writer from Youtianxing also entered the public's attention.
The editor of the script of Red Dust Crossing - Lee Carroll.
Since Director Huan himself would also participate in the game, in order to increase the gaming experience and realism, Huan Xu did not write the script himself. He only got the detective part of Hongchendu's script.
Huan Xu will definitely not participate in every variety show in the future. His goal has been achieved, and he will occasionally participate in it.
However, even if he did not participate in the performance, Huan Xu could not write the script for every scene.
He has a lot to do; he's a director, not a screenwriter.
In addition to the scripts released on variety shows, offline script-killing games also need good scripts for formal and informal players who come to check in to choose and try out.
Carol alone couldn't supply all the scripts.
Therefore, Xinghuo is publicly recruiting excellent scripts and welcomes submissions from all walks of life.
In addition to the creators of Youtianxing, many writers from Haotian and Cangtian were also excited.
In Haotian and Cangtianxing, although suspense is a niche genre, there are people working in related industries, and even if you have no previous experience, maybe you can just learn it.
If the scripts they write can be selected and performed in variety shows, it will be a recognition for them. At the same time, if the variety show becomes popular, their fame will also increase. In the future, whether it is a novel work or a custom script, their value will definitely increase.
For example, people who were well-informed had heard that Lee Carol's communications had been bombarded with calls in less than half a day.
It's about reputation, it's about a little money, it's about whether they can fill their stomachs.
Once you become famous, you will be known by the whole world.
Some writers knew about Director Huan before, but they didn't expect that in addition to making actors famous, he could also make authors like them who seemed to have nothing to do with him famous. Needless to say, if they don't cling to him now, when will they?
For ordinary viewers, they are more concerned about the first two items of the announcement.
The official script-killing venue is also the filming location for "The Detective Stars Gathering". It sounds very happy to be in the same place with idols and play a different script-killing game.
Not to mention, if you can kill everyone, you will have the opportunity to become a full-time employee of the Truth Society and solve cases with Director Huan and other guests.
The reservation channel was immediately crowded, so be quick and you’ll get a spot.
Every show within half a month, including the late-night shows, was booked by excited audiences from Samsung.
The scheduled channel was opened for less than a minute and then closed.
The next time it will be opened will be after the second season of Detective Conan is broadcast.
Some are happy and some are sad. Those who have grabbed a spot can't wait to show off to the world on every account.
Those who failed to grab the chance can only sigh and blame themselves for not being fast enough. They will definitely do it next time.
As a rising star in the detective world, I absolutely cannot be tarnished by the public.
Only after the audience calmed down a little did they notice other things.
[I almost forgot to ask where Weiyang Street is.]
[I found Qinqiang Real Estate, and their new project is developing Weiyang Street in Cangtian Capital, etc. The name of the project's general manager and person in charge looks very familiar. It's actually Lao Qin.]
[Oh my god, could they be brothers with the same name?]
[No one would know that our Lao Qin is a well-hidden rich second generation. ]
I cried. Weiyang Street is the first modern pedestrian street built in the ancient style. Old Qin built it specifically for Director Huan at a huge expense.
[Lao Qin wasn't the only one who contributed. I always feel that Director Huan filmed the "Detective Stars Gathering" to attract Lao Qin.]
[Lao Qin, I won't call you a licker anymore. Lock it up, kowtow to me first as a token of respect. This is true love.]
Taking advantage of the popularity, Qinqiang Real Estate also released an official announcement on the official opening of Weiyang Street.
Fans opened it easily.
What I said before. I accidentally forgot it in my mind: What was it?
I forgot, but it doesn't matter.
They were all immersed in the trailer of Weiyang Street.
Does this really exist?
Is this a place I can go?
[Looks like a lot of fun. I didn't get a spot for the script-killing game. Are there any restrictions on Weiyang Street?]
In order to ensure the safety and tourist experience, Weiyang Street still limits the number of people entering and leaving at different time periods.
Fortunately, compared to script-killing venues, the passenger capacity of Weiyang Street makes people feel at ease and moved to tears.
As time went by, the popularity of the famous detective increased instead of decreasing, and it became a complete hit, dominating the headlines.
In addition to discussions about the variety show and Huan Xu himself, several guests also attracted fans again due to their wonderful performances, and their number of fans increased rapidly.
#Lovely brainless femme fatale#
#Unconventional yet serious, a rich second generation without any actor baggage#
#Brother Bai said he can't play games#
#Phantom Sixth Man#
#Lin Yi stereotypes again#
Topics like these were all on the front page of the forums by fans and passersby.
No matter they appear smart and witty in the drama, or they are in an awkward situation and ask themselves “Who am I? Where am I?”, the guests all have their own cute points and have attracted a group of variety show fans.
There is another one.
The audience also pushed the tool director Chen to the end of the homepage.
However, unlike the unanimous praise for the variety show and the guests, Director Chen's topic received a lot of criticism from the audience.
The suspenseful and teasing voice makes people want to use the Fire Fist on him.
Director Chen's eyes were filled with tears as he turned over his topic.
Old friend Director Zheng patted Director Chen on the shoulder to comfort him: "Being black and red is still red. Even though everyone is scolding you and it stinks, your number of fans is rising like a rocket. Old Chen, you are famous."
Director Chen: "No need to comfort me."
Without waiting for Director Zheng to say anything, Director Chen shook Director Zheng's hand vigorously, saying excitedly, "Old Zheng, I understand too."
Director Zheng was excited: "Yeah, you have also realized the truth."
Chen Dao nodded seriously: "Well, actually I don't have much talent. The dramas I filmed before were always mediocre. It took all my strength to climb to the bronze director position. I thought that this was my life, but I didn't expect to meet Director Huan."
"Director Huan showed me a different world."
"I think I'm more suited to variety shows than movies."
As for what Director Chen finally realized?
Director Chen and Director Zheng actually have the same idea. Old Zheng realized that sad stories are the best way to go, while Director Chen realized that the mantra for shooting variety shows is just these six words: stir up trouble, stir up trouble, stir up trouble.
As for being scolded by the audience, just like what Lao Zheng said, beating is love and scolding is care.
It was also on this night that Director Chen, who would later dominate the variety show industry and be loved and hated by countless fans, attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Lao Chen and Lao Zheng have Huan Xu as a big thigh to hold on to.
…
In the corridor of the Old Kitchen Restaurant, Huan Xu exchanged a few words with Cai Shaoxian, the young master and head chef of the Old Kitchen.
The food at the Old Kitchen Restaurant was good, and the privacy was well protected. In addition, the young master and Yan Ze were classmates, so Huan Xu also became a regular here. After being introduced by Yan Ze, he met Cai Shaoxian.
Although Cai Shaoxian wanted to know more about the food culture of his home planet, he knew that Huan Xu had something to do, so after chatting for a few words, he took the initiative to say goodbye to Huan Xu.
Cai Shaoxian suppressed the excitement in his eyes. As the saying goes, good things are never too late. When Director Huan is not so busy, he will definitely ask him for advice.
Back to Huan Xu's side, in the reserved private room, Director Chen, Qin Dongxiao, Wu Qianying and other artists were seated. In addition to the familiar faces, there was also a lady of mixed-race appearance, who was Lee Carol who came from Youtian Star.
That’s right, today all the planners and guests of the Mingtan Star Gathering gathered together, mainly to hold a small celebration party here.
Everyone is an artist of Xinghuo, and they are familiar with each other. They tease each other and chat enthusiastically. At the same time, they did not forget the creator of the script. Wu Qianying pulled Lee Carol to join the topic. The other party was also very outgoing and soon became friends with everyone in Xinghuo.
As we chatted, we naturally talked about the future development of variety shows.
The second episode is about to be filmed, and the script is still provided by Lee Carroll.
The detective did not make any advance arrangements, so the game was all about reality and excitement. The guests could only get their own information, so naturally they had no idea who the murderer was.
Qin Dongxiao raised his glass with a smile: "Sister Li, let me toast you. I'll drink it. Please feel free to do as you please."
Li Carol smoothed her hair, smiled and said cheerfully, "Although I can't drink much, I have to have this drink with you."
Lee Carroll wasn't lying either.
He had raised his glass with everyone before, and also toasted Director Huan alone. Now he clinked glasses with Qin Dongxiao. He was obviously drunk and it was written on his face.
"Is my sister okay?"
Lee Carol waved his hand: "It's okay, just drink happily."
"There will be plenty of opportunities for happiness in the future. Welcome Sister Li to join our Xinghuo family. Sister, if you're drunk, don't drink for now. We'll come back next time."
"No, I'm not drunk."
Most alcoholics will never admit that they are drunk.
"Sister, you're not drunk." Chu Fan echoed, then changed the subject and asked, "Sister Li, who is the murderer? Can you give me some clues?"
Lee Carroll: ...
"I'm really not drunk."
As for clues? No clues, not even a single one.
Lee Carol pushed the wine glass away and said, "I'd better not drink this time. You guys have bad intentions. If I really drink too much and reveal a few spoilers, I will be unworthy of the difficult task that Director Huan has given me."
Chu Fan was just joking. Seeing Li Carol shaking her head like a wave drum, even pushing her wine glass aside, he sighed and said to the people around him, "The next guests will wish you good luck. I have tried my best, but Sister Li is too good at keeping secrets."
Everyone laughed too.
As for Chu Fan, he was about to go on a business trip to participate in a program, which happened to conflict with the recording time of the second episode of the variety show.
The detective agency has set up permanent guests and flying guests to prevent such situations. Permanent guests cannot always have schedules, so the extra vacancies can be used to invite flying guests.
In fact, even if there is a real time conflict, considering the current traffic of Mingtan, it is a simple question of which one to choose.
However, the rules of the show have avoided this situation from the beginning. If there were only a few guests coming back and forth, it would be okay at first, but after watching it for a long time, it might lack some novelty. The existence of flying guests is also to innovate in personnel and faces, and to provide the audience with more excitement and freshness by constantly inviting new flying guests.
In addition to Lin Yi, another permanent guest who was unable to participate in the second episode was none other than Huan Xu.
"Director Huan, are you sure you can't come?" Director Chen made the final confirmation.
"I just happened to have a new script on hand and I've almost had enough rest. It's time to get back to work. I'll finish filming the movie first, and then I'll participate in other scripts that interest me later."
Although he is listed as a permanent guest, everyone knows that Huan Xu cannot participate in every episode.
Even if it is just a figurehead that only appears occasionally, as long as Director Huan's name is still in the detective agency, it is the best way to attract traffic.
Huan Xu nodded. Director Chen smiled maliciously and said, "If the audience knew that Director Huan, you just shot one scene and then ran away, they would protest again."
Although he seemed to be thinking about the audience, Director Chen couldn't stop the gloating smile on his face.
The other actors at the table looked at each other. Since a certain day, Director Chen seemed to have awakened some extraordinary attributes and gradually turned into the shape of Director Zheng.
Everyone has heard about the film Director Zheng is planning to shoot recently, and it seems to be a big film.
One of the leading actors is Ji Xiaowan, Wu Qianying’s best friend and Xinghuo’s own female artist.
Although Ji Xiaowan's fame is not as great as Wu Qianying's, she is also making steady progress and gradually improving herself.
The second season of "Detective" is missing two regular guests. One of the invited flying guests is Ji Xiaowan. As for the other flying guest, everyone is familiar with him. He has worked with Xinghuo Huanxu and Baiyi.
Jinse’s other male lead is Wei Xuanzhe.
After finishing the filming of Jinse, Wei Xuanzhe and Bai Yi became friends and kept in touch with each other.
During the holidays, Wei Xuanzhe's greetings and concern for Director Huan are no less than those for the people of Xinghuo.
When deciding on the guest stars for the second episode, Bai Yi mentioned Wei Xuanzhe, and Huan Xu also had a good impression of him. After asking for other people's opinions, Director Chen sent an invitation letter to Wei Xuanzhe.
As expected, Wei Xuanzhe immediately expressed his gratitude repeatedly and accepted this important variety show invitation.
When Director Chen invited Wei Xuanzhe, he said: I am free, I am very idle those days.
In fact, this is not the case.
However, Wei Xuanzhe didn't say anything. After hanging up the phone with Director Chen, Wei Xuanzhe exchanged a glance with his agent, who then said directly, "I'll clear your schedule for you. Is leaving two days before and after enough?"
"Two days is still too short, let's extend it a little longer."
"In case the shooting schedule is changed unexpectedly, I also need to prepare well."
Wei Xuanzhe clenched his fists. He must seize this opportunity.
The agent reminded: "Don't forget to thank Bai Yi and Director Huan."
"Director Huan must be thanked. As for Bai Yi, we are good brothers. We can thank him, but there is no need to be too formal."
After thinking for a moment, Wei Xuanzhe said to his agent, "Brother, please find a way to book two tickets for the National Theatre Company for me. When Lao Bai is free, I'll invite him out for dinner and watch a play."
For actors, watching other actors' performances is also a form of input and learning.
If we are good brothers, we should make progress together. This is no more practical than those empty words.
The view returns to the old kitchen box.
Everyone was still talking about the guest stars.
In addition to the amateurs and script-killing experts who will join later, the Xinghuo official website has also opened Mingtan’s own Xingbo. There is a vote in the Xingbo about which flying guests the audience wants to see participate in the script-killing.
Depending on the situation and popularity, Xinghuo will also try to contact the flying guests voted by the audience.
Director Chen flipped through his laptop and read out the candidates voted by the audience so far.
As expected and unexpected, two familiar yet unfamiliar names were voted high by the audience.
Teacher Xingchen and Teacher Taihang.
As we all know, Mr. Xingchen and Mr. Taihang are Director Huan's personal film critics. Starting from Director Huan's first work, they have appeared under every work, and their film review level is very high.
Not only do they have a deep love for Director Huan, but they also love him both ways. Even Huan Xu followed them back on his official account, and you can often see Huan Xu liking their film reviews.
Among the relationships among these three people, in addition to the double arrows between Director Huan and the two film critics, the relationship between the two film critics has also become a long-lasting hot topic among fans and audiences.
One word can best describe this triangle combination.
Love and hate each other.
Director Huan and the two film critics love each other.
The two film critics are fighting each other to see who will be the number one film critic in Director Huan's mind.
The audience not only wants to see Teacher Xingchen and Teacher Taihang participate in the program and solve cases with Director Huan, but also wants to see the three of them participate in the script-killing together.
Don’t ask, if you ask, they just want to watch the fun and make trouble.
Qin Dongxiao also became curious at this moment and looked at Huan Xu: "Director Huan, everyone says they want to see the two teachers work with you on a script-killing show. What do you think, Director Huan?"
Huan Xu smiled and said, "If they're willing to come, they're certainly welcome."
Little Gu, who was pulled out by Huan Xu to relax properly and was also sitting at the table, acting as a quiet and well-behaved background, moved his ears.
"Brother, do you really want to cooperate with Taihang and... Xingchen?"
Huan Xu smiled and said, "I think it'll be interesting. I'm actually quite curious about what kind of people they are. Even though we've never met or even had any formal communication, I feel like after all this time, we're like old friends who've never met in person."
Student Gu calmed down again, looking thoughtful.
The author has something to say:
